Company Overview

Our company was founded in 1996 as a subsidiary of DAIO PAPER CORPORATION, known for its elleair line of products. We manufacture cardboard and newsprint with the aim of making maximum use of recycled paper.

Company Strengths & Characteristics

Taking advantage of our location 180 km from the Tokyo metropolitan area, where most waste paper is generated, we procure a stable supply of fresh newspaper waste with good ink removability and recycle up to 600,000 tons of waste paper annually. Additionally, a portion of our factory's electricity is supplied by on-site power generation. The fuel used for this includes environmentally friendly biomass and waste- derived materials, such as wood chips from building demolition, refuse plastic fuel (RPF), waste tires, and vinyl materials removed from waste paper. By effectively utilizing waste paper through material recycling and recovering heat from waste as fuel through thermal recycling, we make contributions to a sustainable global environment.

Future Prospects & Areas of Interest

In addition to the stable operation of our newly constructed Recycling Boiler No. 5, which began operation in February 2023, by restoring our currently disabled Biomass Boiler No. 4 as soon as possible, we aim to bring our self-generation rate to 100%, become one of the most cost- competitive paper mills in Japan, and continue to provide a constant supply of low-cost, high-quality paper products to meet our customer’s needs.
